Many of these families were "walkers" - people who live
downtown and have limited or no transportation. It was incredibly heart warming to see how these "old" friends
helped each other carry their groceries back to their
homes. So many of them were not able to get access to our
temporary location and they all were very grateful that we
are back downtown.

EASTER SUNDAY
APRIL 5, 2015
CHILDREN’S CORNER
CICLO B 5 DE ABRIL DE 2015
Domingo de Pascua de
la Resurrección del Señor
Easter Sunday
Alleluia! The exclamation rings out across the land, and
we who are disciples of Jesus Christ pause to reflect on
the reality that he rose from the grave and, in turn, conquered death. In today's colleges and universities, in pulpits of every denomination, and in books and journals,
there are those who say it is unimportant whether or not
he really rose from the dead. They say that the facts do
not impact the moral of the story. Of course, two thousand years of Christianity give evidence that they are incorrect. What the faithful of many generations have experienced and given testimony to is not something built on
an idea. It is not a philosophy or a self-help psychology.
Esta mañana es diferente a todas las demás. La liturgia de
este hermoso día nos ayuda a celebrarlo. El cirio pascual al
centro de la iglesia ilumina a todos los creyentes. El agua
de la pila bautismal es testigo de los nuevos bautizados. ¡Y
la esperanza late en los corazones que creen en el Resucitado! El relato del Evangelio dice que Pedro y Juan corrieron después de la noticia de María Magdalena; la vida se
abre paso en la historia. ¡Ahora es otra historia! ¿Creemos
esto de verdad? ¿Cuál es nuestra historia al encontrarnos
con Jesús resucitado?
Nuestro compromiso ahora es ser testigos. Nos lo dice
Pedro en el discurso del primer anuncio cristiano. El kerigma se repetía de boca en boca: "Dios ungió con el poder
del Espíritu Santo a Jesús de Nazaret y cómo éste pasó
haciendo el bien, sanando a todos los oprimidos por el diablo, porque Dios estaba con él" (Hechos 10, 38). Dios
cumplió su promesa y lo resucito dándole la vida que no
acaba. ¡Esto es el Domingo de Pascua! ¿Lo hemos comprendido? Ojala que como María Magdalena, Juan y Pedro,
nuestros sentidos se abran a la presencia de Jesús vivo en
la Eucaristía. Este momento es fuerte y es de gran ayuda
para comprender que todo discípulo ha de crecer en la fe.
Como nos lo dice Juan, "Sus discípulos no entendieron estas cosas al principio, pero cuando Jesús fue glorificado, se
acordaron de que habían sido escritas acerca de él" (Juan
12, 16). ¡Jesús no está entre los muertos, sino entre nosotros! Ahí es donde podemos encontrarlo.
The church is a direct result of real events in the course
of human history. Without those real events, we simply
follow a man who showed us a different way to live. Instead, we follow a God who emptied himself into a human
form, suffered the pain of torture and death at the hands
of those he had created, and then shattered the chains of
death so that we in our human form may follow suit. Today, humanity is redeemed. It is time to face the facts!
